Firework Parade Wand

4th of July means it is time for a neighborhood parade. Kids will love to create and carry these worry-free firework parade wands.

Cut the cardboard roll in half and cut the desired width of your bracelet.

Cut two or three ribbons for each bracelet about three inches longer than the roll.

Place double sided tape on rolls and center the ribbon. There should be enough on each end to tie around the child’s wrist.

Layer the ribbons and finish by gluing jeweled stars on the top.
